using-git-worktrees

To create an isolated git worktree, you need smart directory selection and safety verification against .gitignore and repository integrity. This process sets up a separate workspace for your feature branch without altering the main repository or risking unintended commits.

Git worktree isolation is used for parallel experiments and architecture exploration across multiple branches. It provides clean separation by creating a dedicated workspace, allowing you to develop features without polluting the main repository or committing unintended changes.

Preventing accidental commits in git worktrees requires safety verification checks before workspace initialization. The process ensures .gitignore is updated where needed and verifies repository integrity, keeping worktree contents safe from unintended commits.

Yes, you can use a global directory for git worktree creation. The smart directory selection supports project-local locations like .worktrees or worktrees folders, as well as a global location, ensuring workspaces remain organized and predictable.

No, you do not need to manually update .gitignore before setting up a git worktree. The safety verification mechanism automatically ensures .gitignore is updated where needed during the workspace initialization process.
